[quote=Anonymous]This is the first year we've allowed our 13y twins to stay home during the summer for the whole week. We did 6 weeks of camp, 4 weeks home alone and 1 week of vacation. I think they thought being home alone was going to be awesome - what they found out after day 3 was that they were bored. They have a list of school related work (30m math, 30 minutes Spanish, 1 hr reading, research some topic and discuss when I get home) plus chores that vary based on need (laundry, dishes, sweep deck, refill toliet paper in the house, etc) but those things take 3 hrs at most. They self wake at 8am and we don't get home until 5:30. Those are a lot of hours to play PS4 or watch YouTube. They have swim team practice at night from 6:30-8 so they don't want to be at the pool all day. I think if we lived in an area where there were more kids around, it would be different, but we don't.[/quote]
